Pictures of kale and broccoli tunnel

Kale and broccoli left their cramped quarters for private apartments this morning in Caterpillar 1.

Kale is amazing. It produces almost year-around, as long as deer or other critters don’t chomp it down. We’re still harvesting kale from plants put in the ground last spring. It does have a tendency to bolt in its second year of life, however, so we eventually replace it every season.

Time to turn on the sprinklers, and go home for lunch! This tunnel took about 2 1/2 hours to plant. It’s a good night for Jason to go on groundhog patrol, don’t you think?
